Good witnesses can testify firsthand to what they have seen and experienced. Similarly, Alistair Begg explains that John's clear testimony about Jesus' divine and human nature is essential to protecting the Church from false teachers. When God's people are grounded in sound doctrine, they are attuned to distortions of the Gospel and equipped to proclaim the truth with boldness.
The Word of Life
1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4And we are writing these things so that our1 joy may be complete.

This ancient letter tackles an issue which is compelling in its relevance to the contemporary church. Namely, the seduction of Christianity. False teachers were amalgamating Christian truth with secular philosophy. The result was a diluted message which was leading many astray. John writes with a clarity and certainty which confronts the confusion and vagueness of his day.
